The blueberry wine is the only one that's ready to drink and it's pretty good. We'll see what our favorite is.
Hey Brian,
ReplyDeleteCan you share your wheat beer recipe. I imagined it's somewhat of a Blue Moon Clone? I'm a big fan of Blue Moon and like to brew one soon.
jbolt,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you asked. I was going for a blue moon style beer, but it didn't come out right. Here's what I did:
1 Can Coopers Wheat
1 Can wheat malt extract.
1 oz coriander
1 oz sweat orange peel
I boiled the coriander and orange peel in a grain bag. Then I added the solution to my batch.
I tasted it side by side with a blue moon. The coriander was way too strong and the orange was too weak. So if I do it again, I use less coriander and more orange peel.
I'm in the middle of brewing a Black Rock Whispering Wheat with Munton's Wheat Spraymalt. I didn't use coriander and orange peel at the beginning but I'm thinking to add to the secondary. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian - What do you think 1/2 oz coriander 2 oz of orange peel?
ReplyDeleteI brewed the Coopers Malt and I was kinda disappointed, I'm thinking because of the dextrose I used instead of another can of wheat extract. Was the flavor good besides the orange and coriander?

Cooper's Wheat, not Malt. oops
ReplyDelete1/2 oz coriander and 2oz of orange peel sounds good, but you wont know until you try. I usually use 1 can of Cooper's Wheat and a 4lb can of Alexander's wheat malt (unhoped).
